Works fine here. In step 4 when I press right-arrow the cursor is 
already before the dot (no need for left-arrow). Start typing and 
nothing shifts.

The size of the rename box here seems to adjust itself to the length of 
the file's name. For example the size of the rename box is bigger for a 
file called 
fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffftmp05_ref-mod.c than it 
is for tmp05_ref-mod.c
